I was 18 when I became a Christian. Like many young Christians in the early 2010s, I found myself swept up in a large church that had enough ongoing community groups, Bible studies, and sports teams that the church bulletin couldn’t possibly hold it all (yeah, we still had church bulletins). Between work and college, […]
I did not aspire to be involved in mentoring. In fact, if mentoring had been a conscious choice, I would have run as far from it as possible. But God graciously pulled me into beautiful relationships, involving both formal and informal mentoring. I’d had the misconception that mentoring involved either being an expert or wanting […]

Friendships are so special that a holiday was created to celebrate them. Galentine’s Day is celebrated on February 13th each year to honor female friendships.

Parents are the kissers-of-boo-boos, the protectors-from-scary-monsters, and the ones who make everything better, so help us God. But… I also want to be the one my child runs to when she’s 10 and struggling to figure out her […]
Last year, along with tens of thousands of other Americans, my husband and I purchased a camper. It had always been a retirement dream, but the lockdown of 2020 increased our sense of urgency to find some peace and solace in the woods. We found our used trailer in June of 2020 and since then […]
Leaving the Nest: One Mom’s perspective Leaving the nest. This term has a significantly different connotation for me as a parent then it did when I was a young adult. At 18, I knew it all. Certainly, more than my parents did. So much, that as soon as I was 18, I jumped right out […]
Why wait until January 1st to renew your commitment to healthy habits? I know the holiday season is upon you… but that’s just it, the next two months are when many people gain unwanted weight. Studies show that even if the average American were to only gain one or two pounds between Thanksgiving and New […]
